Reviews
Yes I definitely would make it again.
Of all the comments on here not one actually mentions the size jar you should use; the recipe is for a 16oz mason jar, so if you’re like me and bought 8oz jars you had to cut the recipe in half. Other than that can’t speak to the actual taste of the cookies but in terms of putting these together for gifts they were great.
I really didn’t like them. They were flat and bland.
I haven’t tried it but this is a great idea for a Christmas present!!! THANKS!! Now i have presents for 6 family members!:)
Some of the best! I did as others and did the whole 2 eggs and 2 cups of flour. I also was short on chocolate chips so I also added 1/2 cup butterscotch chips. These came out perfect!
How do you do 1 1/2 eggs??? I used this recipe for our Children’s Ministry Christmas party and everyone kept asking me about 1 1/2 eggs? My husband made them and used 2 eggs…The cookies tasted great though, but were a differant texture than I am used to.
All my teachers loved the gift. They baked it and said that they were the best cookies they ever had. I changed it up a little, I used 2 eggs instead of 1 1/2, I used 2 cups of flour, used white chocolate chips and made a swirl look with the white and regular chocolate chips, and I let the dough set in the refrigerator for 15 minutes so when they baked they weren’t so flat. They were perfectly baked for 8 minutes so they were a little crispy on the edges and chewy on the inside. Thanks!!
I made this cookie mix and put them in jars for Christmas presents. These cookies were amazing! Stayed soft forever and I’ve got people asking me for the recipe.
Made these for a charity event and they were great. Thanks for the recipe.
I make these every year and they are super easy. The even fit nicely in a regular one qt jar with having to cram the ingredients in!
Very good cookies! I did cut the amount of chocolate chips in half. Our preschool teachers really liked them for Xmas Gifts:)
I had to half this recipe to fit into standard used marinara sauce jars. When halving the recipe, I found it works best to use 5 tbsp. butter.
I’ve been using this recipe for a little over a year now, and I it’s a hit everytime! People tell me that they’re the best cookies the ever had, and they ask me for the recipe and I send them this link. Instead of 1 1/2 eggs, I usually just put the full 2 eggs, because I hate wasting. I’ve been hooked on this chocolate chip cookie recipe since I found it.
To get 1 1/2 eggs just beat 2 eggs together, then use 3/4 of the beaten eggs. It’s not rocket science.
I tried this recipe with Skor toffee chips instead of the chocolate chips for a Christmas treat, and they were delicious! I used oil and applesauce instead of the butter, and they still tasted delicious with a unique texture!
GREAT! Though you really only need about 2 cups of sugar! The cookies turned out great!
i’ve used this recipe a bunch of times.it’s so great!!!!!!!!!it’s so great for family.i couldn’t live without it.it’ll be great for Mother’s Day!!!
i’ve used this recipe several times and i always get complimented on how delicious these cookies are. perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe. follow the recipe and you are guaranteed to have a crowd pleaser
this recipe is so good! like a bakery.. i recommend using the two cups of choclate chips as staed in the recipe i used one per other customers review and i missed the extra cholcate. great recipe very easy. i made them big size.. 3 tablespoons of cookie dough per cookie. amazing!
Great cookie. A little sticky to work into balls, but my kids loved them! I used 2 eggs, 2 cups flour, and 1 1/3 cup white chocolate & chocolate swirl chips. Any more chocolate chips would be overkill. I would gift this in a jar.
Good cookies, and easy “mix” to make for gifting. Recipients who had children and/or visiting company for the holidays were the more appreciative, saying the mix gave them something to “do together” with family and friends.
